Tuor of Gondolin has just left Hobbiton.
If you draw a straight line through Helm's Deep (East to west) is it south of that line?

I'd like to comment something, though, on all of these 'straight line' questions. I'll use an example to explain:

Say my place is Bag-end and someone asks: "If you draw a straight east-west line through Hobbiton, is it south of that line?" I would say "No," because Bag-end is in Hobbiton and Hobbiton is not south of Hobbiton. Just because a place is "Not west" of someplace does not mean it is automatically east of it.

Just thought I'd clear that up.

Eye More of those straight lines...

If you draw a straight line through Linhir (North-South) is it west of that line?
